Adelaide defender Chayce Jones is preparing to head into his fifth AFL season with one main goal - to play consistent, strong footy.

Jones, who was recruited at the 2018 National Draft, only missed three games this past campaign, to increase his total games played to 58.

Speaking to AFC Media, the 22-year-old said he was keen to build on his 2022 form and help the team in whatever way he could.

“I just want to keep taking my game to another level,” Jones said.

“There’s been glimpses where I’ve shown I can play but I just want to keep going and play more consistent footy.

“It’s just about coming in with a good pre-season, you set yourself up when you can train fully and that’s when you get the most chance to improve yourself.

“I’m keen to help the team as much as I can, whether that’s in defence, or on the wing or in the midfield, you want to play the best footy you can, which is ultimately going to help the team.”

The rebounding defender said his second pre-season under renowned fitness guru Darren Burgess had been solid and he was looking forward to getting back into it after the Christmas break.

Jones said there were two players in particular that had caught his eye so far this pre-season.

“Pre-season has been good, it’s another build up to what will hopefully be a good year,” Jones said.

“All the boys came back back fit and ready to go again.

“Izak Rankine has come in with flying colours, and the other one is Josh Worrell.

“He is really taking his game to another level, hitting his kicks and showing his run off halfback, which is what we need.”

Jones said he would be travelling back to Tasmania for the Christmas break, before rejoining his teammates for the second half of pre-season on January 9.

“It’s really exciting because we are able to go through it altogether and keep building towards something special,” Jones said.
